"Expedited removals" have been in force for 20 years but have only been used against people caught within 100 miles of the U.S.-Mexican border and who are alleged to have entered the country within the previous two weeks.

Now, Homeland Security Secretary John Kelly has ordered an expansion of the program to apply nationwide and for anyone who entered the country within the previous two years.

That expansion threatens the constitutional rights of undocumented immigrants who may get mistakenly deported, warned John Sandweg, who headed Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) under President Obama.

"The Supreme Court has consistently held that even undocumented immigrants are entitled to due process," he said.

1. The word "citizen" is nowhere to be seen in the Bill of Rights...

It had a different meaning back then.

2. "Will the DC Idiot ever realize that he cannot do whatever pops into his pea brain?" No.

3. When the civil rights and due process of anyone in a country is violated routinely it is not long

until everyone's civil rights and due process are violated and the rule of law is defeated.

This immigration expansion is again clearly unconstitutional.
